Which Is The Best Usage Session Variable Or Global Variable
May 25, 2010
I have the dataset. in this i am having total 20 tables with huge amount of data..I want use this data over all the page..so where i can keep this data..
before i used viewstate but the viewstate data is render to page every postback ..so this time the page size is increasing(interanlly viewstate is rendered to page)..so performence wise it was very slow..
Now i change my logic insted of viewstate to i used Globel Dataset on Page Level.. now the performence wise better than viewstate..
i used Like shared dsControls as Dataset at top of the page..so every time i use this dataset..
my quesation is session is better or Globel variable is better way use in my situavation..
I added the following code to global.asax to load up several session variable when a session starts. I'm assuming that when a page goes to use the variable that I should be
1) checking at the page level that the value is valid not 0 when its not expected to be 0, not a zero-length string when its expected to have a length
2) have code at the page level that sets the values if the values have not been set as when the Session timeout, ideally putting the code in a class derived from Page and then deriving all of my pages from the new class so that the code does not have to be repeated in every page
I'm getting a very peculiar problem with my asp.net application, it took me an age to track down but I still don't know what is causing this behaviour.
If I set a session variable in the Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute event, then my external JavaScript files are ignored, and therfore causing a raft of errors. I have simplified the problem below.
E.g.
I have file called JScript.js containing the code:
function myAlert() { alert("Hi World"); }
And in my Default.aspx file I reference the js with the code:
And in the body onload event I call the myAlert() function:
<body onload="myAlert()">
And finally in the Global.asax file:
Private Sub Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) HttpContext.Current.Session("myVar") = "MyValue" End Sub
If you run the Default.aspx file you will see the js function isnt called, however, if you comment out the line of code Global.asax then the external js is called and the function executed when the page loads.
I am have declared a session variable in login page of my application. I want to access that session variable in Application_BeginRequest of global.asax file. But I am not able to do it. Could you please suggest how to access the session variable in my global.asax file
I have a web application which uses a session variable to store the logged in userid. If no user is logged in, of course this variable will be empty and the contents displayed on my website are meant for guests. If there is a user logged in, the user specific controls/access/links will then be a displayed.
I am now having issues with my hosting where on shared application pool, the worker recycle is triggered every 90 minutes, this will clear sessions causing all my users to be logged out. I opted for a dedicated application pool, which got worse because I am only allocated 50MB memory limit and if this is reached, the worker recycle is triggered and I lose my sessions again. I have tried as much as possible optimization techniques, e.g. dispose where possible, close connections, disable viewstate for static controls etc but my memory per instance keeps building up from page to page without any signs of improvement. I don't use loops nor store huge objects like bitmaps etc but my sessions are now gone even faster than 90 minutes in shared application pool before.
I have considered using SQL Session State but there isn't a simple guide on using this with MySQL. I am getting desperate and considering using a public variable, a string as a replacement to store logged in user id instead of in a session variable. I am pretty sure this will solve my issue with sessions being recycled but are there any negative consequences of doing this? One problem I can think of is if the user closes the browser, the system will never know that the user is now logged out and this public variable should be nothing. In this scenario, will the GC eventually clear this abandoned public variable.
Currently in an .aspx file, I am storing a value (filename that was created in that session) in an hidden text box. When the user clicks on the "Print" labeled Hyperlink control, it opens the file that was stored in the hidden text box control. But when the user goes to different screen (in the same session), I loose the filename value that is stored in the hidden text box control. So I would like to store the filename variable in a session variable. So that if the user leaves this .aspx file and comes back to this .aspx file I can load the value into the hidden text box from the session variable.
What would be the proper syntax in ASP.NEt 3.5 C# to assign a TextBox value to a temporary or session variable to be manipulated (added, subtracted, multiplied, divided) at different points in the application? I want to add a decimal number to this variable in almost every instance as well.
I know there is a couple answered questions on here regarding "request scoped" globals, but I want to nit-pick on something specifically and maybe squeeze some extra enlightenment out of one or two of you.I have an ASP.NET C# Website and a static Dictionary of objects (loaded from DB once on Application start). Each page request will need to do a lookup in the Dictionary (based on a key derived from the request url/etc) and get the appropriate object.The issue is I'm trying to maximize efficiency by reducing the lookups to the Dictionary per Request. Doing just a single lookup within a Page itself is easy enough and I can pass the object to sub controls, etc too.. but global.asax is separate from the Page and it also needs to use the object (in Application_BeginRequest and Session_Start).
So is doing a Dictionary lookup once in Application_BeginRequest, once (when necessary) in Session_Start and once in the Page negligible speed wise, even if there are many requests coming in every second?I would like it if I could just have a Request scoped global variable that I can easily call upon.. the only one I see available though is HttpContext.Current.Items and that is a Dictionary itself.Am I beingridiculously nit-picky with my concern over efficiency? or will these milliseconds (nanoseconds?) get me in the long run when more and more requests are being made?
PS. I currently only have around 100 objects in the Dictionary although this may increase in the future.
Is it possible to use global variables in C#? I'm coming from mainly a PHP background so variables are either accessible everywhere or just a global definition away.
My main issue is I have a User class that I built myself to wrap around the current users table on my company's database. I am defining it in the MasterPage but can't seem to access it from the actual pages (I don't know if there's a better word to describe them but they are the pages that inherit the styles and format from the MasterPage) Any general tips or implementation practices for me?
EDIT: here's some code snippets of what I'm trying to do:
Site.master.cs
public partial class SiteMaster : System.Web.UI.MasterPage { public User user = new User(); } logout.aspx <%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="logout.aspx.cs" Inherits="logout" %> <%@ MasterType virtualPath="~/Site.master"%> logout.aspx.cs public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { User user = Master.user; } }
I have a process within my MVC 2 application that takes a large amount of time and alters many rows in the database in the process.
There is a chance that two or more users could attempt to perform this action at the same time, which would lead to undesirable effects.
Is there a way to set a global flag somewhere within asp.net that I can check against all requests to see if the action in question is currently being executed? (a bit that I flip prior to running query, and then then flip back on completition)Or is there a better way of handling this situation?
I want client access a data center but without use database , so I want my web app can retain a global or Application session variable, that contains the data, every client can access the same data... I am try to declare in golabl, but seem it only can store String but others ..
I am having some trouble with my web service. I want to make a variable that will be the same for each thread running. To be specific, my program is that user 1 goes on my page and types something into the textbox and that user 2 can see what user 1 is typing into the box. its sorta like google wave. The problem is that when i run it, the variable's value does not go to user 2 and instead another instance of that variable is created.
I'm pretty new to silverlight and asp.net but I have a strong background in c#. I am currently developing a c# asp.net application with silverlight elements. I was wondering if it was possible to have a user say click on an image that has a certain value associated with it and have that value access from a c# variable held outside the silverlight application.
I want to declare a Dictionary<string, object> variable but don't know where/how to. The values in the dictionary will be objects from the Page (ListBoxes, DropDownLists, etc) so I can't exactly create a class somewhere else. Is there any way I can make this variable accessible from each method in the codebehind?
I've began working with asp.net mvc very recently and I've ran into a problem.I've got an aspx page which renders a few ascx pages. What I'd like to do is declare a global var at the aspx page so it is visible to all its childs. I tried <% var i = 0; %> but it wasn't visible at the child pages. What could I do?
How do I need get the variable in the master page?
1. after Login.aspx get the information of the user 2. redirect to home.aspx 3. in home.aspx, view the info like Label1.text ="Welcome " + varUser; 4. Label1 is located in the master page 5. this varUser will display in all my pages 6. I don't want to use the full Session["var"] (because of expiration)
*in short I just want to get the var in the master page everytime I load a new page (WITH MULTIPLE UNIQUE USERS)
I would like know how to declare a global variable that can be used within a user after the user login and before the user logout across all the possible pages.
I need to develop a web application that will connect to 5 different servers depends on the selection of user on what server they wish to connect and after they select a server and login...I will need to keep track the server name in a variable last until the user logout (user may visit various pages but the server name MUST NOT be changed due to other user login into different server). So how can I do it so that other users may select different servers and will keep the server name for each different users.
Let says:-
User A selects Server A and login and User B selects Server B and login at the same time, so how the global variable can handle the needs for each user (User A & B) with different server select?
Is "Session" the only way to fulfill the above? I think of using Application State but it seems that the value stored will be shared by all users and not for a particular user.
I'm looking for a way to declare a global variable (so all pages could see) but personal (so if one user puts some value in it, it won't matter to another user or change his value).Sessions and hidden fields won't do. I've tried working with declaring keys in Web.config but unfortunely, the keys values aren't personal, and all users share the same key value.Another way I was thinking was maybe classes, but perhaps there might be an easier solution?
I have to define a global and unchangeable variable in a web page. I used static variable but its content is the same for all users that use the page and it is bad. I dont want use Session variable.
I have a ASP.NET/C# web application. There is an object instantiated in the Global.asax that I'll call g_objVariable. What I would like to do is reference one of it's properties in the ASP.NET page itself, like this.
The g_objVariable's Prop1 value is: <%=AppNameSpace.Global.g_objVariable.Prop1.ToString()%>
I get it to see the reference, but it keeps telling me that due to it's protection level I can't access it. I have it set to 'internal static'. What would be the least level I could set it to, but still allow the page to access it?
I am having problems in retaining the string variable which I defined on the top of my scoop, everytime when page loads the string value becomes null. below is the snippet of the code:
public partial class Caravan_For_Sale : System.Web.UI.Page { string check; PagedDataSource pds = new PagedDataSource(); //paging
[Code]....
The string check becomes null everytime when the dlPaging_ItemCommand becomes active(page loads).
